County Match (Open) 2021-22: Sussex – Middlesex
I played in the Sussex home match against Middlesex last Saturday. The match was complicated for all concerned with general traffic issues affecting the area. The boards and pieces arrived with minutes to spare, while a number of players, particularly … Continue reading
Horsham Club Quickplay Knockout 2021-22: Mansson – Harbott
I was up against Peter Harbott in the Semi-Final of the quickplay knockout. In the end it was a fairly straightforward 2-0 win, although there were a few nervy moments in the second game in particular.
